Good kaiju film *** out of 5
7 May 2005
Let it be said that I do not understand why everyone raves over the quality and production values of this film. It certainly isn't any better than the Godzilla films being made at that time. It's a lot better than the original Gamera films when it comes to production values, of course, but after seeing the film I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about.

I've heard people exclaim that this may very well be the ultimate kaiju film and in my eyes it's anything but.

It's not any better nor is it any worse than the typical kaiju film. But if you're a fan of the genre like I am you will definitely consider it a solid kaiju film.

Some of the battle scenes are really fun and Gyaos has always been my favorite Gamera foe.

I look forward to finally seeing the sequels, which are hailed quite highly too. I just hope that those live up to the hype.
